Students campaigning for the decolonisation of British universities are now demanding that a statue of Queen Victoria is removed from a college campus - because of its 'racist colonial connotations'. Campaigners are set to join a march at Oxford University, on Wednesday, demanding that a statue of the long-reigning monarch be taken down from Royal Holloway, University of London, because she 'sanctioned colonial exploits' . They will be among hundreds of students from campaigns across Britain at the 'Mass March for Decolonisation', calling for the removal of a statue of Cecil Rhodes.

We Are Not Amused! When we will there be a Thermidor moment.

Paint over all pictures of past royalty.
Burn the history books.

That’ll show em...

[ConservativeDude]

let’s just repudiate the entire 19th century, since it is such a low point of British history.....

[PIF]

Mostly ‘asian’?

Marxists always attack the history of the countries they conquer, and never tell the truth of their own history of massive death and destruction of the nations they loot.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

We truly are entering a new age of iconoclasm.

[Nifster]

The communists have the youth. But not all of them

This will not end well

The third world was NOT held down. They refuse to modernize and continue to live a tribal life. Even the rich third world countries populated by muslims

Redefinition of history is a diagnostic marker of liberal fascism, which oppresses the people through the social mechanism of political correctness.

Without he colonial period, the so called colonies would still be sucking coconuts while child mortality would remain over 50%. The colonial period was not ALL about racism and exploitation. It also was about bringing goodness, medicine and science to people who were suffering. It was also about the cross cultural seeding of colonial culture , diet and religion into the culture of the alleged exploiters.

Like any history, its a mixed bag, but these liberal fascists need to go eff themselves , royally.

The ignorance of modern men and women about Liberal Fascism is astounding. The best primer on Liberal Fascism and its social mechanism designed to limit freedom, limit free thought and limit human rights is available in Jonah Goldbergs work: "Liberal Fascism."

Seriously?

I mean, they have a statute of Cromwell outside parliament, far more controversial. Instead it’s Queen Victoria causing an uproar?

People need a good smack on the head.

To completely destroy America, the DemocRATS must remove all of its history and culture.

[greene66]

Interesting that this trend to demonize history and heritage, and instigate Mao-style cultural cleansings is going on everywhere apparently. Destruction and erasure of the iconography of the past, to pave the way for new, untainted generations bringing forth a marxist-globalist future.

It’s what I expect from leftists. But what will eventually lead them to succeed, as well as to usher in our own demise, is the usual spineless crowd purportedly on ‘our’ own side who constantly bend down and surrender to these pressures, like Nikki Haley and the Confederate flag, or Mike Pence and the homo-fascists. I have nothing but utter and complete contempt for them.

[TomGuy]

Progressives are loving this. History being cleansed.

Ironically, in the south, they got Republican politicians to lead the charge.

[stocksthatgoup]

Like the Confederate Flag the former queen was.

[kalee]

Someone at Uni needs to tell these “children” to grow up.

My money says this is probably overspill from the vile hate at Thatcher, the last of the great British female leaders, because some twit or another classes them alike.

As harsh as the old British law code was I’m beginning to see why they had it that way...dear Lord has that nation fallen far and fast.
